Olympics

It's like handball but actually hard.

Handball was created for unathletic Billy no mates’ to make him feel better about themselves.

I feel like handball is a half baked sport that could be really cool with a bit more physicality and a goal that actually makes shooting a skill.

That first set of women’s volleyball US vs. China was amazing.

Women's indoor volleyball is one of my fav summer olympics sports

The surfing is so boring. Sports that are so dependent on the conditions really don't work so well when they are dependent on being in one spot based on who is hosting. Been watching for 15 minutes and it's just been 2 guys bobbing about in the water

Street skateboarding was freaking awful. If sk8erbruh told me that street was the hardest skateboarding discipline I would believe him. That being said RAIL GRIND, RAIL GRIND, RAIL GRIND, RAIL GRIND, RAIL GRIND, RAIL GRIND. Just terrible to watch.

just give us the halfpipe

Really good beach volleyball match with the US edging Brazil to keep themselves in it. Dalhausser is 41 and still has it.

Field hockey being exclusively a women's sport in the US is one of the weirder sports related things out there

Oh hang on a second. We actually advanced in a rugby event? Soz Ireland.

It's water polo without the water.

Or hockey without the ice.

It's basically a terrible version of basketball where the hoop is the size of a footie goal.

Billy no mates wasn't good enough for those challenges so someone made a sport to make him happy.

I just think there is the shell of something fun and interesting and they made all the wrong decisions

I agree

Add water and call it water polo.

It's 'hard' in more ways than one. You have to be tough as nails to play that sport.

I have played water polo. Do not ask what goes on beneath the surface of the water. You do not want to know.

Shame that Naomi Osaka is out. Clearly been going through a tough time and it's a shame she couldn't win in her home Olympics

This reads as loads of handy J's to me @Bungle. Thoughts?

It ain't like that. I suspect that more people would play water polo if it were like that.

Heard the music from the 64 Tokyo games yesterday, best ever. Brought back brilliant memories of running home from school to catch the daily highlights. Lucky if the British team won more than one gold,those were the days!
